Achieve sustainable manufacturing with future-proof production
The challenge of sustainable manufacturing in the food industry
Sustainability goals set by governments have become increasingly prominent, and food producers are faced with the task of finding solutions to enhance their sustainability efforts and meet decarbonisation and net-zero targets. Many companies in the food industry operate with outdated facilities, making it crucial to assess their current state and identify areas for improvement. However, achieving sustainability often exceeds the knowledge and capabilities of internal teams. To address this challenge effectively, a dedicated core team focused on sustainability and decarbonisation is essential for success.
To effectively address sustainability and decarbonisation challenges, clients benefit from a dedicated core team. Placing the burden solely on engineering managers or general directors could overwhelm them with the complexities involved.
The impact of media pressure and customer demand on sustainability goals
In addition to government targets, customer demand for sustainability goals should not be underestimated. Media outlets, such as the Dutch Milieu Defensie (environment defence) publication, play a vital role in highlighting the sustainability struggles faced by companies like FrieslandCampina, including their efforts towards CO2 and NOx reduction. This heightened visibility creates a ripple effect as customers, more than ever, insist on sustainable practices. Companies must acknowledge the significance of sustainability in overcoming these challenges and actively work towards meeting both government targets and customer expectations by 2030. Failing to do so can result in negative publicity, the loss of clients, and a failure to thrive in an increasingly eco-conscious world.Technical solutions and project management for sustainable manufacturing
The journey toward sustainable manufacturing involves implementing technical solutions tailored to each client's unique requirements. We leverage our expertise to identify and recommend the most suitable solutions, such as energy reduction techniques, equipment upgrades, and alternative processes. Additionally, we offer Project Management Consultancy (PMC) services to clients lacking internal resources or expertise, acting as an extension of the client and ensuring the successful execution of sustainability projects.
"We assist clients with technical solutions and provide PMC services when they lack the necessary personnel or knowledge internally. Our holistic approach encompasses both technical guidance and project management, ensuring sustainable manufacturing practices are effectively implemented."
Collaborative solutions: connecting industries for sustainable manufacturing
Tackling sustainability challenges requires collaboration and knowledge-sharing among different industries. We recognise the importance of connecting companies, governments, and sustainability solution providers to create a network of innovation and expertise. By facilitating roundtable discussions and industry events, we encourage the exchange of successful sustainability initiatives, fostering a collaborative environment for future projects.
"We believe in connecting industries and sharing solutions. By bringing parties together, we can inspire innovation and create new opportunities for clients. Our extensive network provides valuable insights and perspectives on sustainability."
Future-proof production: key principles and supply chain considerations
Future-proof production involves setting goals aligned with the 2030 targets and adapting operations accordingly. Each client's journey toward future-proof production is unique, depending on factors such as energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and water usage. It requires a comprehensive assessment of the entire supply chain, including transportation and packaging materials. Royal HaskoningDHV's acquisition of Districon, a company specialising in supply chain optimisation, enables a broader scope of support for clients aiming to reduce their environmental footprint.
"Future-proof production requires considering the entire supply chain, including transportation and packaging materials. Our comprehensive approach ensures clients can meet their sustainability goals, irrespective of the complexities associated with their operations."
Client satisfaction and achieved outcomes
Client satisfaction and achieved outcomes are key indicators of success in Royal HaskoningDHV's expertise. Regular project reviews with clients enable the evaluation of project success based on predefined sustainability goals and targets. We ensure that the implemented solutions align with the client's vision and requirements by closely monitoring the progress and actively seeking client feedback. We take pride in delivering tangible results, such as reduced carbon emissions, improved energy efficiency, and cost savings for our clients.
"We measure our success by the satisfaction of our clients and the tangible outcomes we achieve together. By closely collaborating and regularly evaluating project progress, we ensure that our solutions align with our client's sustainability goals and deliver real, measurable results."
